We’ve reached the most wonderful time of the year. It’s bowl season.
This year the No. 21 Texas Longhorns (8-4) will participate in the slate of games. Steve Sarkisian’s team will travel the short distance to San Antonio to face the No. 12 Washington Huskies (10-2) in the Valero Alamo Bowl.
The Longhorns previous two bowl nominations were to the Alamo Bowl. Texas dismantled the highly regarded Utah Utes 38-10 before defeating the Colorado Buffaloes 55-23 the following year.
This year’s game reunites Pete Kwiatkowski with his former team. His defenses at Washington were so potent they earned the nickname, “Death Row.”
Steve Sarkisian is also reunited with a former team. Sarkisian revitalized Washington going from 0-12 the year before he took over to three bowl games in four years.
Here’s a look at where Texas teams will play during bowl season.
